*V3a Update 1/20/2018*
Noticed the ribs in the top were a smidge off-center.  Just tweaked it a bit, it should be center, or at least close enough

*V3 Update 1/15/2018*
Redesigned to support printing without supports.  Top cover pieces combined and minor tweaks to shape.  New printed "spring" secures with just a spot of glue.  .stl files oriented to print without supports.  Only 3 parts to print with V3.

All V3 parts were printed in PETG, .6 mm layer height (.8 mm nozzle) for prototyping.  I'm not sure if the spring would work in PLA.  The prototype works well, so I'm probably not going to try in .3mm, but I'm guessing it would work just fine in .3mm.

The top cover needed some reheating with a heat gun, to take out some warps in the sides.  5 mm holes in the top cover I needed to ream out for smooth operation.

I'll leave the old files in case anyone wants to use them still.  The old version works like a champ!

I had a USB foot pedal, but it broke.  So, I ordered another one. That broke too.  I designed this one off the PCSensor FS1-P.  The FS1-P uses an optical switch.  Both of the ones failed, so I'm assuming some sort of reliability issue, at least under my use.

I used an SV-166-1C25 microswitch and springs from 4 clothespins.  I used M3 bolts and nuts for securing the microswitch, and M5 bolts to secure the top to the bottom.  The springs were krazy-glued into place, and the spring cover was hot-glued into place.  The top cover plate was glued into place with modeling glue, and is optional.

I designed it with room for a keyboard USB interface module from a scavenged HP keyboard for use in voice chat in a video game (caps lock), but I suppose it should fit a teensy microcontroller or equivalent for something a bit more powerful.  If you need just a simple footswitch, I think this could fit the bill as well.

Great original design, but I didn't have blades that fit. I found that my other remix for ~1.5" blades tended to flex and bend. So, I decided to give it another go with some utility razors I had on hand.

I understand that not all utility razors are the same, make sure you check the size to see if the ones you have will fit.

Small bits (~ 5mm per side) of cut filament is used as an alignment tool for ensuring a proper gluing. The razor just fits right in the slot. Prior to gluing, slide the razor into the provided space before gluing the halves together to ensure a snug, secure fit.

I've found that with careful gluing, and ensuring the razor seats properly, I could remove the blade and put it back into place with just enough effort, so potentially the blade is replaceable.

It's not as sexy as the original, but it works!  The MacuBo design is definitely the best pill cutter I've tried - other cutters tend to crush or cut wonky on occasion.

Hope this remix helps someone else.

PET bottle adapter for Fizzini / Sodastation handheld sparkling water maker.

I just wanted the option to use a 1-liter soda bottle instead of the regular bottles.

Special thanks to sirmiro for the "PET Bottle Cap for projects" found here: 
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2167007  I believe I'm using his project as intended! It saved a LOT of time.  This way, I didn't have to design in Fusion360 - this was all designed in 3D Builder!

The cap as-is fit my bottle well, but it there was slight wiggle-room in the threads that caused the 1st prototype to not hold pressure well enough. So, by V6, I made it juuuussssttt a few millimeters smaller in the x and y axis.

It works pretty well with or without the gasket  - not sure which I prefer.  With the gasket it holds pressure a bit longer....but it's a bit scary, but the pressure does dissapate :)

.stl files include the adapter and an optional gasket.   

So far, it makes seltzer!

Great original design, but I didn't have blades that fit. The other remix didn't work for me - not sure if I did something wrong in the blade install or if it was the blades I have but it just didn't work for me (I'm sure it's not the models fault)

So in Fusion 360, I took a razor 3d model as a reference and did some basic editing. Glue will be required to keep everything together. Small bits (~ 5mm per side) of cut filament is used as a guide if required, but the razor just fits right in the top. 

It's not as sexy as the original or the 1st remix, but it works!  The MacuBo design is definitely the best pill cutter I've tried - other cutters tend to crush or cut wonky on occasion.

Hope this remix helps someone else.

This remix is inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4901758 by Junr05, but technically is a remix of the original fixed vertical mount listed. I had issues with the model by Junr05 - issues with the model downloaded showed in the final print, so I decided to start from the original.

Test prints done in PETG, with supports at a .28 layer height on an AM8 with E3DV6 bowden setup. (just bought the Voxelab Aquila as an upgrade). Filament choice is up to the user, however I prefer to print printer parts in PETG when I can. PLA or PLA+ should work just fine.

Adjustment is smooth and only requires loosening of the top M4x12 bolt. Does require the lower bolt to be close to or at max left justification on the rail, or the back of the mount will hit the rail. However, should suffice for most viewing angles.

Designed in Fusion360 (.f3d provided). Saved in .3mf and .stl formats

I had lost the battery cover for this RMBZ300P electric fly swatter.  I have two, so I measured  an original, and modeled it in TinkerCAD.  After a few prints and tweaks, it fits pretty darn well.
